Baby Emmett is Here!

Finally! Emmett Hunter Williams was born at 9:22 PM on Saturday, January 9th, after a (much easier than the last time) 12 hours of labor and just 11 minutes of pushing. He was 8 pounds, 10 ounces (I have big babies, man) and 21 inches long. And he is completely amazing. Best of all, his big sister is in love.

Robbie came across the name Emmett one day while searching for baby names and we both loved it. We recently learned Emmett means "whole" or "complete" - pretty perfect considering this little dude officially completes our family. (We gave him the middle name Hunter after his daddy, who also has the middle name Hunter, a family name.) We now have two E's and can't wait to start our adventures as a family of four.

I'll share more (including his birth story, just like I shared Essley's) eventually, but for now I'm absolutely exhausted and looking forward to having some down time with our new little man during my maternity leave. As I said in my last post, there will continue to be posts here while I'm off, so be sure and stop back by. And thank you for following along on my pregnancy (and now new baby) journey!
